A comparative study of different immunoassays to detect specific antibodies to Echinococcus spp. in human sera

Helminthologia, 2020
Human echinococcosis, one of the most serious of parasitic zoonoses, is caused by the larval stages of taeniid cestodes of the genus Echinococcus. The study aimed to assess the reliability of the detection of specific antibodies to E.

Utilisation of Anthropogenic Food by Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Britain as Determined by Stable Isotope Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Anthropogenic food consumption has been implicated in poor health outcomes for synanthropes. We used stable isotope analysis on British red fox whiskers to show a distinct diet between rural and urban foxes, where rural and urban fox diets consisted of around 6% and 35% anthropogenic food, respectively.

Comparative Analysis of Nuclear (Ef1α) and Mitochondrial (mt‐CO1 and mt‐Nad5) Markers for Molecular Characterization of Sheep Isolates of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Echinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic disease that is widespread worldwide. Objective This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of E. granulosus isolates in sheep. Partial mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences were used to determine intraspecific variation.

Echinococcus multilocularis Infection, Southern Ontario, Canada

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Alveolar echinococcosis, the disease caused by infection with the intermediate stage of the Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm, is typically fatal in humans and dogs when left untreated. Since 2012, alveolar echinococcosis has been diagnosed in 5 dogs,

The Areas of Echinococcosis From the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau Extend to Yunnan: An Observation of Deworming and Control Integrated Impact Evaluation on Dogs

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background:Echinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of the parasite Echinococcus, which has a long incubation period, expensive diagnosis and treatment, and long duration of medication, so it brings a great economic burden to patients and their families.

Protozoan and Helminth Contamination in Ecuadorian Agricultural Products: Dominance of Blastocystis sp.

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Foodborne diseases, particularly those caused by parasitic infections, pose significant public health challenges globally, particularly affecting vulnerable populations such as children. In this study, we investigated the parasitic contamination in 773 samples of fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens from Ecuador’s Chimborazo Province. Utilizing a cross‐

Recent advances on innate immune pathways related to host–parasite cross-talk in cystic and alveolar echinococcosis

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are life-threatening parasitic infections worldwide caused by Echinococcus granulosus (sensu lato) and E. multilocularis, respectively.

Combination Therapy of Albendazole and Praziquantel for Treatment of Cardiac and Multiorgan Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report of Novel Treatment and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2024.
A schematic of a patient's follow‐up with recurrent multi‐organ hydatid cysts, who, due to lack of response to brain and heart surgeries, underwent a trial treatment with praziquantel and albendazole. Six‐month follow‐up shows a reduction in the size and number of cardiac and abdominal cysts.
